Hands On Ministry Opportunities

The Field Ministry Program at Kentucky Mountain Bible College is a vital part of our education program. At KMBC we do more than teach our students about ministry, we give them the opportunity to experience both its blessings and challenges first hand! Students are also able get involved in new areas of ministry and make connections for their future.

The Field Ministries Director provides consultation, supervision, and assignments. Specific assignments usually begin in the students’ second semester. A Field Ministry Handbook, available to all students, gives objectives and guidelines for each area of Christian service. A non-credit field ministry orientation course is required of all second semester freshman with the advantage of supervised training in different fields. KMBC students are involved in preaching, teaching, music ministries, children’s work, nursing home, prison, pro-life, and youth ministries.

In our Field Ministry Program students get the opportunity to develop their skills in supervised real life settings. Allowing better understanding of what is required of them in their future careers and opportunity to invest in the local community.

At KMBC it is our goal to prepare outstanding leaders to impact the Kingdom of God. Our Field Ministry Program is one of the many reasons students are more prepared and equipped for meaningful ministry positions right out of college. All students who earn a bachelor’s degree must complete a minimum of six assigned semesters of work in Field Ministries. They must also complete an internship in the field of their academic major. Those who earn the Associate of Arts degree must complete a minimum of three assigned semesters of work in Field Ministries.

Preaching

KMBC Ministerial students often have the opportunity to preach in local churches under the Kentucky Mountain Holiness Association. Students will work with their supervisor to prepare and deliver meaningful and biblically sound sermons and messages to local congregations during weekly services. Students will gain experience in delivering the Gospel to real people in a real church.

Music Ministry

Students with musical talent can be involved in many different field ministries. KMBC students often serve as song leaders, accompanists, and as a part of our traveling singing groups. Song leaders and accompanists help lead worship in local congregations working with pastors and worship leaders. Students can also be apart of our traveling singing groups. Our singing groups and Choir minister and represent KMBC at churches, camps, and retreats throughout the year.
